A news release is a written communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something news worthy. Typically, it is sent to assignment editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations and/or television networks.

A media advisory is intended to drive media to attend a special event. It is sent the day before the event. It answers the what, where, when, why, who and how.

The media list will provide you with e-mail addresses for all relevant news media. Copy and paste the e-mail addresses into the bcc line of an e-mail message. "News release" or "media advisory" should be in the e-mail subject line followed by the title of the release or advisory.
